6max, overpair vs cbet

Openning TT from the UTG is never a mistake, imo, but when we face a raise, we don't need to call every time. In this case I think it's fine to call. We are a bit deep, so we have better implied odds. Also, it's possible that the MP calls, too. Although, he might decide to 4bet sometimes, but I don't think it will happen very often. The BTN doesn't squeeze alot, which also increases our implieds if we hit a set. When we call a 3bet preflop to setmine, a standard play when we miss is to give up on further aggression, so I think that check/folding on the flop is fine. Sometimes he will check back, in which case we can bet the turn with an overpair for protection.

TT is always a good hand to open and it's generally standard to flatcall a 3-bet with TT too. What hands do you think he's betting this board texture with? I think I would call this flop.

Overpairs and broadways.

OR is good. I think the call is doubtful, as you're asked to pay $0.36 when the effective stack remaining will be $4.37, which only gives you a ratio of 12. BTN looks like he only squeezes for value and against a range like {TT+, AK, AQs} you're well behind (and OOP), so I would fold. As played, this is a good fold. I don't think we can assume he cbets his entire range here and even if he does it's doubtful.

Open pre is good. I'm pretty sure that you can fold this hand vs sqz pre for a couple of reasons:
1) BU is squeezing tight, sample size is small , but still IMO he will be sqz very tight given these positons.
2) You will be oop
3)MP will join a lot of the time

For me this looks like bad spot to call a sqz.

I would call JJ-QQ,AK/AQs, 4b bluff maybe 1/2 combos of AQo and 4b for value AA/KK.

As played, I'm folding vs such huge sizing.

Vs that tight squeezer, we are set mining with our hand.

We hit our set (or better) 11.7% of the time. We pay $0.36 to see the flop. To be profitable our expected return when we hit a set must be more than $3.08. There's already $1.14 in the pot. If on average we take half the effective stack, we end up with exactly $3.08 after rake. We also need to consider the possibility that we lose our stack if our set is not be the best hand (I assume we will stack off on a board with one or more overcards or a monochrome board). I would guess that we need to be about 75% confident that at least one villain will stack off against us when we hit for this to be profitable. Even if that's true it's going to be a marginal call and in an uncertain situation which is at best marginal, I like to fold.
